On 1 April 2009, the Federal Court handed down its decision in Symone Anstis v. Federal Commissioner of Taxation. The Commissioner has lodged an appeal against the decision. Until
Ryan J. held that Ms Anstis, who received a youth allowance as a
university student, was entitled to a tax deduction for her education
expenses.
this matter is resolved, the Tax Office will continue to apply the view
set out in Income Tax Ruling TR 98/9. That is, education expenses are not deductible against various Commonwealth educational assistance schemes.
